Release notes May 2017

Global Dossier - individual
and patent family member RSS feeds now available for patent monitoring

For some years
now RSS feeds have been available for monitoring changes in EP dossiers, in the
"All documents" section of the European Patent Register. Hovering over the RSS
icon turns it red and clicking on it subscribes to the RSS feeds, allowing you to
receive alerts on changes to the file (Fig. 1).

With the new
European Patent Register release, the RSS feeds have been extended to Chinese
dossiers of an INPADOC family member of an EP document. The RSS feed icon is
located on the Global Dossier page of the State Intellectual Property Office of
the People's Republic of China (SIPO) (Fig. 2).

For a given European patent application you can access,
within the Patent family section of the European Patent Register, its INPADOC
patent family members and, for the participating countries, their dossiers via
the Global Dossier link (see the help files for Global Dossier
coverage).

RSS feeds are now
available for patent family dossiers of an EP document, allowing you to receive
alerts on dossier changes for EP and CN family members. Clicking on the RSS
family dossiers icon turns it red and subscribes you in one move to changes in EP
and CN dossiers, e.g. when new dossiers are added to any of the files (Fig. 3).

In the future, the
individual and family-based RSS alerts will be extended to the rest of the EP
INPADOC family members of the patent offices participating in Global Dossier.
